Moody River

(Gary D. Bruce)



Moody River more deadly

Than the natalest night

Moody River your muddy water

Took my baby's life.



Last Saturday evening

I came to the old oak tree

That stands beside the river

Where you were to meet me.



On the ground your glove I found

With a note addressed to me

It read dear love I've done you wrong

Now I must set you free.



No longer can I live

With this hurt and this sin

I just couldn't tell you

That guy was just a friend.

Moody River more deadly

Than the natalest night

Moody River your muddy water

Took my baby's life.



I looked into the muddy water

And what could I see

I saw a lonely, lonely face

Just looking back at me.



Tears in his eyes

And the prayer on his lips

And the glove of his lost love

At his fingertips.

Moody River more deadly

Than the natalest night

Moody River your muddy water

Took my baby's life...
